English term

pairing operation

English to German Tech/Engineering Computers: Systems, Networks From a patent on connecting audio devices
This is basically a question about how to use the the term "pairing" consistently. There're some manufacturers that use the word "pairing" on their German websites, but then, when I look up "pairing operation" I find "Paarungs- oder Koppelungsvorgang" more often.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Proposed translations (German)

Verbindungsvorgang

You can connect (pair) up to 5 Bluetooth compatible mobile phones or audio devices. = Sie können bis zu 5 Bluetooth-kompatible Mobiltelefone oder Audiogeräte mit dem Gerät verbinden (paaren). - see https://www.linguee.de/deutsch-englisch/uebersetzung/mit dem...

Einfacher ausgedrückt ist das Pairing ja nur das Verbinden der Geräte mit- oder untereinander und passt gut zum Thema: patent on connecting audio devices

"pairing operation" = das Verbinden
Peer comment(s):

disagree Thomas Hick : The operation of pairing is always between two devices and not more. You can do this operation from one device to several others but it is not an operation between several devices at the same time. Hence the term pairing was chosen.

Paarungsvorgang

I would stick to Paarung as it not only expresses the connection operation but also the connection between just 2 devices in this case
